Damn, dude. This tutorial is exactly where and when I needed it. I've been playing with the idea of going mohawk for a while, and this video has really helped me make my decision. I know it was a little while ago, but how long does it take you usually to do all this?
Glad it helped! I usually only spent around 10 minutes putting it up when it was 4 to 5 inches but it took around 20 minutes when it got to be 9 inches tall.
@@MonsterBuddy10 That's awesome, dude. I'm actually sitting at 4 inches of length right now, so hopefully when I get this bad boy cut and styled, it shouldn't take too long. Thank you for the great video and I'm sure I'll be back regularly until I get it down properly. Godspeed to you, brother.
Thank you! You definitely need a lot more hairspray than you think, basically to the point you can't feel anymore hair haha. One tip is to make sure each coat of hairspray is completely dry before you put more on. Oh and yes, the roots are the most important part so they need to be super strong. Hope this helps! 😁🤘
@@MonsterBuddy10 That hawk in any colour would look great tbf! Your Liberty spikes in the other vid look great too! Great to see some decent mohawks out there still! 🙌😃
It's three AM and I'm a punk who hasn't exactly dived in the mohawk until now. I've done it my friends. And now I will surprise my family with this in the morning, gn ✌️
Had a mohawk for about 5 months before I started the growing out process. I’m finally (after 10 months) at a stage where I have chin length hair again but now I desperately want it back. I’m probably gonna re-do it in a few days/weeks/months and I’m already looking forward to it and disappointed in myself at the same time haha
Spot on bro. I never tried that got2b freeze spray, my mohawk isn't quite that long, i will buy some today also i have been meaning to get a hair dryer.
Thanks you so much I've been putting a mohawk up for a while but not with color and i just got it done with color and i wanted to know how to put up a fan mohawk so you helped alot
Tbh I struggled with the Mohawk for a while lol, the front side wasn’t stright had like a side slant to it which was annoying and was like tooo hard because all the gel I put but I followed your steps and it’s finally getting to my dream hair lol, fuzzy and completely stright just got to grow it more and boom Mohawk vaas complete XD
Hey again I'm from Canada 🇨🇦 and I did comment on this video last year just want to give you an update last year I did do my hair as a mohawk and I did actually have it all the way to the back then got tired of maintaining it so I did half of it instead and still looks good I did want to dye it but my hair colour is black and it's still good can't wait till it's summer so I can do my hair in a half mohawk again and I would say no matter what your mohawk is long all the way to the back or short and half the hawk is still going to rock
Well done brother. I don't have a hawk no more but my fiance does and I put hers up its huge and it already looks great how I do it but I like the extra steps to make it look more full and longer so I'll be trying it for Xmas day this year.
Hi I'm from Canada and I love your mohawk even tho it's down still looks nice. Next year in the summer I was thinking of doing a mohawk like yours I love mohawk style haircuts I usually do a fade style in the winter and summer but in the summer I want the sides shaved and just the middle showing till the back and even tho it looks nice when it's up I like it down but who knows maybe I'll try it up and I wanted to do it like your style but red or blue or actually just leave it black this summer because thats my normal hair color
Great hair, dude! But I'd like to know if you have some tips to people who Just started and have tinha hair, also, my barber messed up the simetry, should I fix It at home or should I wait for it to get bigger so I can Go to another barber store and remake it?(I've never even tried to cut my hair) also, a big hug from Brazil!
The best advice I could give is to start out with it pretty short, maybe 2 inches or so. That way you can learn to put up a tall mohawk as it gets taller. If your mohawk is asymmetrical you can just take a little more off the other side to even it up. But if it's too thin after that it might not want to stand too well when its past 5 inches. Oh another tip, when you're holding the hair up with the comb, don't let go until the hairspray is totally dry. I'd honestly say to always trim it yourself, it can really get expensive going to the barber and clippers are cheap. Hope that helps 🤙
My barber couldn’t get my hair to stand since it’s straight curly, but it wasn’t exactly cotton dry like it usually is, I’m thinking of using some spray at home (buy it first) and maybe some gorilla spray to keep it up for a long period of time, is that a good idea, I think it might help have it last longer.
I keep getting gaps and bits sticking together creating spikes, sort of. It's never a tight fan like yours where you can't really see through it. I use got2b freeze spray and a hairdryer comb but it will not go as yours. I have about 3 fingers width is that too thick? Yours seems less wide
I dont really do a good job showing it in the video but you wanna lightly spray each section just so it stands up on its own, you want it to still be somewhat soft so you can close the gap with your fingers and spray it. You can also lightly comb through your hair after you've lightly sprayed and dried it, this will make it go up and be more cohesive. Hope this helps!
Dude thanks for the video, growing a mohawk now, starting from shaved hairs 😂BTW can you tell me what is your music its dope ;D ? thankiiies happy hawkin' !
How long would you say your hawk is here? 4 in? 5 in? And how thick did you leave the strip of hair on your head? (I had one at one point but it was long and I could never make it stand
Yeah I'd say it was around 5 inches in this vid. I typically make it as wide as my pupils, it's an old school punk trick. This technique definitely works for tall hawks. I've had them as tall as 10 inches, the only trick is to make sure you dry the hairspray completely and to use plenty of it
@@MonsterBuddy10 Hell yea, thanks man! Been thinking about going back to a mohawk, but was unsure of how thick to make it. If I try it again I'll let you know how it goes
Decided to go with a hawk, got it looking good after a long time of trial and error!.. only now I need to trim it😅 got any tips? Really don't wanna fuck it up but just a bit too long for me.
Don't worry lol, trimming is super easy after you get the hang of it. Start with a small section in the front and get it the length you want. You can use the first section as a guide for the second one. Hold part of the cut section up with the next section, trim them to the same length. Just keep doing that until you get all the way to the back. Make sure you can see the back really well with your mirror and take your time. Sometimes it helps to trim it when it's up too.
Hey man I don't know if you would have the answer for this but is it possible to put afro hair into a mowhawk? I've always wanted a mowhawk to match my style but having a natural afro made it seem nearly impossible for me
Afro hair will definitely work! It'll actually be easier to put up since it wants to stand on its own. Just grab it with the comb the same way I do in the video and make sure the hairspray is totally dry before you let go. You might need to use your hands to shape it more to get perfectly straight sides, unless you like the poofy look. I've actually had friends with afro hair that didn't even use hairspray, it just stood up on its own and they shaped it with pomade.
How long does it usually stay up? I am thinking about getting a Mohawk just like yours but red and I am kinda worried it will go dead halfway through the school day
It takes lots of practice and a lot more hairspray than you think you'd need. Make sure to really dry the hairspray with the hairdryer and pull the hair tight the whole time. One other thing is to spray both sides of a section and dry it before letting go of the hair. Always make sure to start from the roots and work your way up, and one other thing, try texturizing powder if you have silky hair. Hope this helps!
@@MonsterBuddy10 see we used gel next time will try hairspray for sure he's also getting annoyed because he can't put his headphones on oh the sacrifices of having this kind of style lol
I’m so jealous of people with thin hair, their Mohawks looks so good. I’m debating to cut all my hair off and start the entire process over because my hair is too thick basically. And thinning it doesn’t do Jack shit
Hair gel only works for hair that is 1 1/2 inches or shorter. Gel is too heavy to hold up longer hair and takes too long to dry to be functional. I do sometimes use gel to seal the ends of my hair after the mohawk is up.
I don't know why, but mine starts doing the "V" thing, i put a lot of effort, watching tons of videos, but he starts opening from the middle in about 1 minute. Do you have an idea about what should i do? (Sorry for the bad english, i'm not a native english speaker.)
If it's separating too much you can hold the sections together then spray them and dry with the hair dryer. Try to just get all of the hair up then worry about making it look good. Make sure to start from the roots of the hair
@@MonsterBuddy10 Thank you! but I shaved all my hair, lol! since I was a kid I always loved punk Mohawk and liberty Spikes, maybe I'll do it again ... anyway, your mohawk looks amazing !!
@@samufaus2 I just found the width by using my pupils as a reference then parting my hair all the way down my head, making sure it's straight. Then just cut the side with clippers and do the same for the other side. Maintaining it is much easier, just follow the line you already have. Always make sure to use a handheld mirror so you can see everything clearly.
@@MonsterBuddy10 When it gets alot longer or taller then you like how do you cut it then? Mines starting to get to long for my liking but I dont want to go to a hairdresser or barber since last couple times they've completely jacked my hair up.
What I usually do is cut the front to the length I want then grab some hair along with the section I've already cut and use that as a guide. I just do that all the way down the mohawk. Boy Neon has a video of him doing this same technique.
And when the world needed him the most, he vanished

I am so late but I am so interested in how you sleep with a mohawk up!
Just on my side or my stomach. I naturally sleep like that so it was never an issue

What song is it? XD Nice mohawk btw!
Have you ever got hairspray in your eyes

When you went to the barbers (hairdressers) how did you ask for it like did you say I want a mohawk or I want a fanned mohawk
I cut it myself. But you'd just ask for a mohawk and tell them what width you want
I kinda have curly hair would it help to straighten it?
If your hair is thick then it could help but it shouldn't be necessary. Just make sure to hold the hair tight and use lots of hairspray.
